Beautiful valley between some desert hills. The course is pretty narrow, so very challenging if you're drives aren't usually on the fairway.

Played on a Monday morning, pace was fine until we caught up to several other groups bunched together. We were often waiting at the t's while the group before us tee'ed off because the group before them was still working on the same hole. Didn't see a signal marshal working the pace.

Bunkers also deceiving, many had a thin layer of sand over hard mud - protect your wrists...

Very pretty course, though, good snack bar and pro shop. Friendly staff. Call box at the tee box for 9 to call in your lunch order before making the turn. No Verizon cell signal, so no phone interruptions while playing.

This course was an absolute delight to play. Very fun Par 3, most holes are 100yds from the middle tee box; 2 holes are 150. Very nice landscaping and lots of wildlife.

If the course is empty a fast group could play in under 3 hours.

Enjoyable course close to San Diego downtown. A little dry, can be very busy with a slow pace of play at peak times. Some very dry dusty areas with no grass, but overall course is pretty fair.

First off, this is a beautiful mountain course. The staff are pleasant and casual. The setting alone makes this course worth playing. Many narrow fairways make for a challenging course, and none of the Par 3's are simple.

The day we played the fairways were in great shape, and the greens were good although very, very hard and fast. The tee boxes were often more sand than grass though with a liberal sprinkling of grass seeds.

It was also sad to see poor etiquette on such a nice course; very few people seemed to be raking or fixing their divots.

Lastly, it would be nice to see some beverage service here. The club-house pub is often very crowded as it serves the whole Sapphire Valley development (which is huge) so it would be nice to be able to order a beer without all the hassle of waiting up there.

Played on a Thursday, course was packed and I heard from locals that was normal on good weather days. They were still calling tee time starts over the PA when I finished at 2:00! Course was in pretty rough shape, not enough watering, and considering the wet spring we had that's pretty sad. The greens were rock hard and fast as concrete. Never had to fix a single ball mark!

However, for a decent course in Nashville with free lunch combo you can't beat the price. Staff was nice and the food was good.

Played on a Thursday at 9:48 and it was fairly well packed. Course is very nice, very little water though, easy access into the rough for find balls...

This is one of the busiest course I have played; and I have played this course on several occasions.

This course could be reasonably played in closer to 3 hours; however there tends to be a lot of walking groups which severely decrease the pace of play.
